Where The Streets Have No Names Photo

Photographer’s Note

Located in Israel's north and part of the western Galilee region, the coastal town of Acre (pronounced Akko in Hebrew) is a rare blend of East and West and one of Israel's most prominent archaeological and historic destinations. Officially declared a World Heritage Sight in 1990, Acre's rich history is slowly being uncovered as works are consistently underway to conserve the town's historic landmarks.

Acre's mixed ethnic and religious makeup, peacefully inhabiting this seaside town, makes it a must-see destination when on a tour to Israel.

Hi Julian,
Good idea for this photo, I like the kind of metaforic "tunnel" going from dark to beautiful sunshine with focus on it. The 1/5sec is just perfect for the photo, as the almost phantomatic moving man goes sooo well with your title.
The only thing I don't really like is the framing. I mean, the low POV is perfect put the door is a bit too central in the composition... to my opinion at least !
I tried a WS with another framing, I hope you'll like it.
Congratulations for the U2 title which goes so well, and thanks a lot for the very interessant note,
TFS,
Marion

Hi Julian,
i like the coming light from the outside, and the details and colors of there create nice atmosphere with the dark part of the composition, the man as a movement object is the main thing i think..
Congratulations,

Nice lights and contrasts.
From the first moment this picture seems to be simple, but then, at the second look there are some interesting feelings showing up.
